Recommended: Essay on the political spectrum

A lot of famous philosophies retained all different kind of political philosophy to nowadays. Over time there are a so many different ways to look at the politic, and also the different political spectrum. Today we often use the spatial metaphor of the left-right continuum to refer to and distinguish conflicting positions. The order from left to right continuum is represented communism, socialism, liberalism, conservatism and fascism. Every country will have its own type of political spectrum. In this essay, I will show my own political spectrum, a form of government and political positions to demonstrate my ideal political philosophy is social authoritarian which mean I think the government should have a certain control over economic issues …show more content…

For liberals, centre left is Welfare Liberals and centre right is business liberals. One of the Canadian political parties that are closest to my position on the graph is Bloc QueBecois Party. In the election of 2015, Bloc QueBecois is Party’s platform is targeted on the economy, environment, family, education, justice and others. I agree with this placement because they showed that they can improve the society in different ways such as they will re-establish the funding of economic and social development organizations, re-establish and improve the eco-auto rebate program for first-time home buyers, transfer $3.5 billion for post-secondary education, re-establish cultural programs, oppose capital punishment and completely eliminate the fiscal imbalance and eliminate the spending power that the federal government has arrogated to itself. Although Bloc QueBecois party offers some good suggestion to change the society, this party is not what I expect. My expectation will be the NDP party because their position is closer to my idea than the Bloc QueBecois party did. The NDP party points out that they will try to improve the economy and strengthening the public health care system and this is similar to my idea too. However, the platform of Bloc QueBecois party in 2015 is now closer to my ideal political

  • First Past The Post Electoral System In Canada

    1798 Words  | 4 Pages

    Western Canadians seeking a right-wing alternative to the Progressive Conservatives founded the Reform party of Canada in 1987 (Mansbridge, 1987). Quickly gaining support, they succeeded in gaining numerous seats at the expense of the Progressive Conservatives in the 1993 election, splitting the right-wing vote between them. From 1987 to 2003, the Reform party (later known as the Canadian Alliance) and the Progressive Conservatives fought a long, protracted battle for control of the right-wing vote, enshrining a long period of Liberal dominance, until the two parties merged in the “unite the right” movement. Both the Reform party and the Progressive Conservative party faced many seemingly irreconcilable differences: Reform supported individualism, small government and a tougher line on Quebec (Rawson, 1997) while the Progressive Conservatives supported the red-tory principle of noblesse oblige and included Quebec patriots in their broad-based coalition. Although a majority of Canadians and Progressive Conservative members opposed such a merger (several moved to the Liberals as a result), the political reality of vote-splitting meant that the Liberals would be “in nearly permanent power” if unity was not found. Indeed, Progressive Conservatives and Reform party MPs had already begun

  • Are Democracy and Capitalism Compatible

    2012 Words  | 5 Pages

    In contemporary times, the rise of capitalism as a dominant economic trend and its ravenous demand to accumulate sources from new markets, has led to the idea of merging political and economic power into one, which is democratic capitalism or otherwise illustrated as “a system where markets allocate income according to efficiency while governments redistribute income according to political demand. "(Iversen, 2006). The advancements mentioned earlier, have given ground for questions concerning the possible compatibility of the political ideology which is democracy and the economic ideology capitalism and how would they affect one another. This mergence could be examined in recent times, whereas in the past around the start of the nineteenth century it was considered as inappropriate and unlikely to happen. This paper aims to demonstrate to what degree are democracy and capitalism compatible, by examining the various areas of conflict of the two ideologies, how has capitalism affected the democratic system in the United States and does actually global capitalism have an impact on the developing countries democracies.

    Throughout this course I have developed my political philosophy to be stronger, by heeding examples from the great philosophers we have discussed, however I have yet to fully peace all of it together in a flowing coherent text quite yet. I do know one thing however, and that it to remain open. While I realize that some of my ideas are radical, over my experiences and how I clicked with the political thinkers words, this is what I have created as my own political philosophy as of now. Given the current world today this is where I stand. Something may happen tomorrow and make me realize how wrong or right I have been, but for now this is me, as radical and all over the place it is. I can only hope that my logic makes an inkling of sense. To keep on track, the philosophers we have studied this semester deserve respect in their own light. Each one of them is right, and I feel like none of them are necessarily wrong. The world is a different place to every person, and for that reason I personally do not believe that we will ever have a political system with which everyone agrees with. We can merely do the best we can to grow, and take into considerations the words of those who have come before us, and maybe one day, we will arrive upon a system of government worth waiting

  • Marx (The Communist Manifesto) and Rousseau

    2059 Words  | 5 Pages

    The political philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Karl Marx examined the role that the state played and its relationship to its citizen’s participation and access to the political economy during different struggles and tumultuous times. Rousseau was a believer of the concept of social contract with limits established by the good will and community participation of citizens while government receives its powers given to it. Karl Marx believed that power was to be taken by the people through the elimination of the upper class bourgeois’ personal property and capital. While both philosophers created a different approach to establishing the governing principles of their beliefs they do share a similar concept of eliminating ownership of capital and distributions from the government. Studying the different approaches will let us show the similarities of principles that eliminate abuse of power and concentration of wealth by few, and allow access for all. To further evaluate these similarities, we must first understand the primary principles of each of the philosophers’ concepts.

  • Example Of Political Compass

    252 Words  | 1 Pages

    The political compass represents the people’s political views based on two separate and individual axes: economic and social. The economic axis is a left to right line that evaluates an individual’s stance on how the economy should run. The left side of the economic axis defines one’s desire to have an economy be totally controlled or be managed by a cooperative collective organization. For example, Mao Tse Tung is someone who is committed to a total controlled economy and his views would be on the left side of the economic axis. The right side of the economic axis defines one’s desire to have a free market economy or managed by competing individuals and organizations. For example, General Pinochet is someone who is committed to a free market

  • My Political Philosophy

    2190 Words  | 5 Pages

    Political Philosophy is typically a study of a wide range of topics such as, justice, liberty, equality, rights, law, politics and the application of a codified law. Depending on what the philosophy is, it usually tends to be a very sensitive and a personal ideology that an individual holds within the reality of their existence. Several of the fundamental topics of political philosophy shape up the society that we live in as these specific topics and their implementation by the state ensures a legitimate government. In Political Philosophy, the aforesaid concepts or topics are evaluated and analyzed with tremendous depth in context to their history and intent. Furthermore, in a rather colloquial sense, political philosophy is generally a point of view which after some deep thinking asks questions such as, what are the government’s duties? Is it legitimate? What makes it legitimate? What are the duties of its citizens? What are their rights? Are they protected? So on and so forth. In the following paper, I will canvass my political philosophy and elaborate on my reasoning behind it.

On September 19, 1998, I went to the temple for my own endowments. I read my journal entry from that time and it did not do justice to what I actually experienced at the temple. I went through so many emotions and had so many questions answered that I had kept to myself.
